Bombarding Cultivators with Cluster Artillery
Chapter 947 - 918: Seventy Years of Changes from Ocean to Mulberry Fields in the Northern Plains

Jiang Dingxin's Divine Sense connected to the Central Courtyard of the Tu Shan Maiden Corps, reviewing the meeting minutes to understand the events that had taken place in the Northern Plains over the past century.

"Seventy years ago, the Great Sun Sword Sect announced its dissolution, as did the Great Sun Dharma Sect, and the two merged once again to form the Great Sun Sect."

"True Master Void Square became the Sect Master of the Great Sun Sect."

"This news shocked many cultivators in the Northern Plains."

This was an event that happened shortly after Jiang Dingxin received his inheritance and left the Great Sun Sword Sect.

"At the same time, news came that the strongest of the Great Sun Sword Sect, Immortal Jianyang, entered seclusion to pass the life-and-death threshold."

This abrupt turn of events triggered a myriad of speculations among the cultivators of the Northern Plains.

Some cultivators believed it was a manoeuvre by the Sect Master of the Great Sun Dharma Sect, Tianyang Immortal, who had successfully ousted and absorbed the Great Sun Sword Sect.

Others disagreed, convinced that True Master Void Square had been concealing his strength, betraying the Great Sun Sword Sect in one fell swoop and seriously wounding Immortal Jianyang.

There were also those who believed that Immortal Jianyang had indeed made great strides in his cultivation, subduing both the Great Sun Sword Sect and the Great Sun Dharma Sect, and was hopeful of taking his Cultivation Base to the next level after reaching the peak of Nascent Soul.

Many people believed this speculation.

Immortal Jianyang, known as the strongest in the Northern Plains, had for years suppressed many Peak Nascent Soul Cultivators from the Righteous and Demon Alliance, and his combat prowess was unrivalled in the Northern Plains.

If one were to discuss who in the Northern Plains had the most hope of breaking through the Nascent Soul Peak, to take their Cultivation Base further,

that person would undoubtedly be Immortal Jianyang.

"That's wrong..."

Jiang Dingxin shook his head slightly.

To achieve Divinity Transformation in the harsh cultivation environment of the Northern Plains, one needed talent, flair, and fortune that would stand out across the long river of ten thousand, even twenty thousand years—and among several generations, twenty-plus generations of Nascent Soul Monks—only the very top among them.

The strongest elite in twenty thousand years!

Such a person could ascend to divinity in the Northern Plains.

The Sect Master of the Great Sun Sword Sect, Immortal Jianyang, was indeed stronger than other Peak Nascent Soul Cultivators, but only by a margin that was far from reaching this standard.

If Immortal Jianyang aspired to ascend to divinity, he would need an immense stroke of luck.

An awareness of this fact might have been known to him as well.

Therefore, Immortal Jianyang initiated a sword fight against the Dari Swordsman, seeking to slay him to claim the rich rewards and inheritance of the Sword Pavilion Envoy, and with his sword, carve open the gate to the great way.

Then, he passed away silently, without causing the slightest ripple.

I continued reading.

"The upheaval in the Great Sun Sword Sect quickly attracted the attention of Wanyao Valley in the Western Desert."

"No matter what happened here, there must have been chaos within the Great Sun Sword Sect and the Great Sun Sect, with Immortal Jianyang's whereabouts unknown."

"Many Demon Monarchs believed that this was the time when the Great Sun Sword Sect was at its weakest."

"Seizing this opportunity, Wanyao Valley from the Western Desert swallowed up the great spirit lands of the Northern Plains like a whale, massacring billions of mortals. Besides the designated human enclaves, any humans that emerged outside the enclaves were fair game for the demons to kill and consume, to promote their Cultivation."

"In just over a decade, the Human Race of the Northern Plains suffered over half its population lost to death, with billions of casualties, their bones bearing teeth marks exposed to the wild, leaving vast stretches desolate."

"Entire mortal cities and tribes were completely wiped out, devoured by the great demons."

"Numerous Minor Sects and family cultivators were slaughtered, the Spiritual Veins stained with blood, transforming into spirit lands of various demon races. They thrived on these lands, rearing humans and Low Rank Cultivators as their food supply."

"It can be said that in nearly half of the grasslands occupied by the demon race, aside from the people of the Human Race who still languished in the wilderness, the majority had perished."

"These struggling survivors of the Human Race are expected to be hunted down within the next twenty years, ceasing to exist."

Line by line, the text succinctly described the tragic state of the Human Race within the grasslands occupied by the demon race.

"Race Extinction War..."

"Is this what a race extinction war looks like?"

Jiang Ding's heart was shaken.

In that instant, he thought of the Horned Demon Imperial Clan.

If one day the Immortal Sect Domain were to fall, would the outcome be the same?

"All of this will come to an outcome."

Jiang Ding's expression remained impassive as he continued to read.

"Currently, the only surviving forces of the Northern Plains Human Race are three: the Six Paths Sect, the Guishan Tie Family, and the Great Sun Sect."

"For some reason, Wanyao Valley of the Western Desert did not attack the Six Paths Sect or the Tie Family, choosing instead to target the Great Sun Sect as the object of their assault."

"Fifty years ago, four aging Demon Monarchs at the peak of their realm from among the six Demon Race royal families of the Western Desert led tens of Demon Monarchs and a million demons, armoured and varied in form, their demonic presence overwhelming, straight into the heavens, determined to wipe out the Great Sun Sect in one fell swoop."

"The Great Sun Sect called upon the Northern Plains Human Race to resist the Demon Race together. Some responded, while others ignored the call."

"Most Loose Cultivators at the Immortal of Nascent Soul had lost hope."

"They disbanded their Sects, taking only a handful of relatives and disciples with them, wishing to flee from the Northern Plains to live out their lives in a remote place."

"Wanyao Valley of the Western Desert boasted dozens of Demon Monarchs, including four at the pinnacle of their power, with even more powerful Demon Monarchs lurking in the shadows."

"Yet the Great Sun Sect only had one Peak Nascent Soul Cultivator, the Tianyang Immortal."

"Everyone believed the Great Sun Sect was destined to fall."

"Even many of the lower-ranking disciples within the Great Sun Sect had begun to flee, and numerous Nascent Soul Monks within the Sect colluded with Wanyao Valley, racing to betray intelligence on the Great Sun Sect in hopes of earning a good price."

"Under such circumstances, even the Loose Immortals like Immortal Qingyun and Blood Cloud Immortal who had come to assist in the name of Human Race righteousness were disheartened, silently leaving without hope."

"Everyone was convinced that the Great Sun Sect was doomed."

"The Northern Plains Human Race was destined for extinction. The Northern Plains would become like the Western Desert, a paradise for the Demon Race."

"Few knew that the Western Desert once had a thriving Human Cultivation World which had long been buried in the annals of history, lost in old papers, without a trace to be found."

"The Northern Plains was set to follow in the footsteps of the Western Desert."

"However,"

These two words brimmed with intense emotions: shock, ecstasy, relief after disaster, gratitude, and more, written by a Nascent Soul Stage Maid.

Jiang Ding could almost see the tears brimming in her eyes at the time.

"Just as the demons breached the Great Sun Sect, pushing the Nascent Soul Immortals back in retreat, with the Tianyang Immortal surrounded and gravely wounded, at death's door, and the Great Sun Sect on the verge of annihilation,"

"The four peak realm Demon Monarchs of royal descent, and the two peak realm Demon Monarchs lying in wait, died silently and without warning!"

"Dead!"

"There were no signs, no fluctuations of Heavenly Earth Spiritual Qi, no Spirit Consciousness Fluctuations."

"The six Demon Monarchs, as formidable as Peak Nascent Soul Cultivators, who were fiercely driving back the Tianyang Immortal and about to surround and kill him, died abruptly without a mark on their bodies."

"The ranks of Demon Monarchs were thrown into terror and chaos."

"The Nascent Soul Monks of the Great Sun Sect who had agreed to betray now turned traitor in an instant, launching surprise attacks on the masses of demons, reaping a bountiful harvest. The Demon Monarchs of the Demon Race desperately resisted, but with their strongest fallen, morale sank, fear pervaded their hearts, and they were ultimately defeated."

"In the end, they fled for their lives, leaving behind a million Low Rank Demons to be slaughtered by the Great Sun Sect."

"Wanyao Valley's plan to annihilate the Great Sun Sect and occupy the entire Northern Plains had to be halted."

"The Northern Plains Human Race emerged from the brink of extinction."
